March 2015 - Breeze. A life changer



Sometimes it's the smallest decicions that make the biggest impact on your life. 
Having been introduced to the idea of Breeze - free guided bike rides for women, I kept checking their websites for any rides that I could join. But there was nothing, just nothing. 
I can't be the only person wanting rides in the evening or weekends can I? 
So having talked it over with Teresa, we sent in an 'Expression of interest form' to British Cycling.  
We were both given a place, but couldn't make the same course. 
So on a rather cold Saturday morning in March, I headed up to Baisingstoke for my Breeze Leader training. 
I started talking to Karen in the car park. She was from Chichester and had finally got on the course after a very long fight. And then later chatted to Chris who was from Baisingstoke. 
I left that day with a passion to engage other women in cycling and gained not only a qualification but also two new friends who have appeared many times in my cycling journey.
